III. Collaboration between the Computer Science Department and the New York Universy Library and Archives departments

Computing in the Humanities in the Arts
is an undergraduate course in the Department of Computer Science which
is offered every other year to Computer Science majors and Web
Programming minors. This course has been offered three times to date
(Fall, 2007; Spring, 2009 and Spring, 2011).
The capstone project in this course is an on-line digital archive based
on primary source materials. Many students have elected to use source
materials in the NYU University Archives collection (http://www.nyu.edu/library/bobst/research/arch/index.html)
although some students have used materials that they personally own
(e.g. historical collection of 19th century family photographs, a family
collection of rare American crystal goblets, an early 20th century
family-owned stamp collection and other projects).

Topics in Literary Theory I: Literary Archives and Web Development
is a graduate course given in the fall, 2011 semester by the English
department. This course covered topics specifically related to working
with digital literary texts such as Text Encoding (using TEI/XML - see http://www.tei-c.org/index.xml ) and working with primary sources materials from the Fales Library and Special Collections at New York University.
